This came from www.lawschoolpower.com, they also have dynamic power rankings where you can weight different factors. I was very surprised to see how fast the order of schools would change when I slightly tweaked my inputs. It sort of demonstrates how flawed US News can be. I've been a longtime- LSD reader and thought it was a cool find.

...the Dynamic Rankings use mostly ABA statistics (along with ILRG to fill any gaps). The Power Rankings and Admissions Calculator use Law School Numbers. I'm interested to see what people think of the Dynamic Rankings - useful? accurate?

The whole point of this website (besides supplying free data) is to undermine US News and World Reports and cater the admissions process to the individual. Additionally, the "Power Rankings" look at actual student quality, they don't just add up admissions rates and LSAT scores.

I'd love to see how you have chosen to weight the factors in your dynamic rankings!!
